The tenant is complaining about a leaky pipe, can I go into the unit and repair it?

If it’s an emergency that needs to be addressed immediately in order to prevent damage to the property and/or the tenant’s personal belongings then the landlord can just enter the unit without notice. For other reasons that are not urgent such as repairs or maintenance inspections the landlord will have to serve a 24 hour written notice any time the landlord needs to enter the unit. The notice should indicate the date and reason for entry and a time of entry of not more than a few hours (between the hours of 2 and 4 pm, for example).
